      JD Vance said “It’s time for the government to serve the American people instead of big corporations” at a rally less than a year ago. Chuds do not consider themselves “pro-billionaire” or “pro-corporate”. They genuinely don’t understand anything.

          It definitely ties into their vision of the ideal business under capitalism being one where the owner-operator-founder unilaterally makes all the decisions. HR trying to prevent a “toxic workplace” is a sign to them that mediocre bureaucracy is interfering with the will of a John Galt.

            I think you’re giving the general reactionary too much credit. The vast majority are zero thoughts, just vibes, Roganesque. You’re talking about the dork, pedo, minority who actually try to have a ideology.

              Yeah these people think Disney wants to make your kids gay. They don’t understand rainbow capitalism, they genuinely believe corporations spread the gay agenda out of their own conviction to serve some nefarious purpose. They think being anti-woke is anti-establishment. They are that dumb.

              That’s the whole point, the “owner at top making all the decisions” is entirely vibes-based. That’s why they love Trump so much, The Apprentice made him out to be personally making the “hire or fire” decision for everyone in his company. It doesn’t matter that it was make-believe for the cameras, it tickled their ideological neurons, even if they can’t articulate why it tickled them.

    • The media literacy of fascists is non-existent and their ability to perform mental gymnastics and ignore evidence is absolutely unsurpassed. They will always be able to uncritically absorb whatever media they enjoy unless they are confronted with a buzzword or catchphrase that Fox News or 4chan has told them to associate with people to the left of Julius Evola, in which case they will immediately lose their shit, scream about woke for several days and record a video of clogging their toilet in an attempt to flush all their merch.
